Mixer Tap
A mixer tap blends hot and cold through one lever, which only helps if there is actually a hot water point at the basin. Plenty of HDB bathrooms have a cold feed at the vanity and run the heater to the shower alone. Check yours first, otherwise a mixer behaves like an expensive cold tap. Where there is no hot feed at all, the cold tap range is the one to look at.
After that it comes down to spout height, finish, and how the lever feels under your hand. We carry basin mixers from Aalto, Vera Ceramica, G.Ferretti and Nobel in chrome, matt black, gunmetal, brushed nickel and gold. The wider basin and wall faucet range covers wall mounted spouts as well as deck mounted ones, and the kitchen sink tap range is where to look if the kitchen is being done at the same time.
Turn a few on at our showrooms. Lever feel is the one thing photos never tell you.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mixer tap?
A mixer tap blends hot and cold water through a single lever or handle. It needs both a hot and a cold feed at the fixture. Without a hot water point at the basin, a mixer works only as a cold tap.
Do HDB bathrooms have hot water at the basin?
Not always. Many flats run the water heater to the shower only and leave the basin on a cold feed. Check the pipework under your vanity before buying a mixer, because a cold tap would be the better purchase.
What is the difference between a mixer tap and a two way tap?
A mixer blends hot and cold into one outlet. A two way tap splits a single cold feed into two outlets, usually for a bidet spray or a water filter. They solve different problems and are not substitutes.
Which mixer tap brands does Homus carry?
Aalto, Vera Ceramica, G.Ferretti and Nobel, in chrome, matt black, gunmetal, brushed nickel and gold finishes. The floor at Tampines and Lavender carries our best sellers and best-value mixers, which is enough to test the lever action and compare finishes under real light. For anything else in the range the team orders it in for you. Open 11am to 8pm daily.
